    My 2 cents wirth........ I never had a vacuum sealer until now, so my experience base is not a broad as many of you. After reviewing this thread and others, I decided to buy a VacUPack. I have used it a lot over the last week or two and have been totally pleased with how well and simply it...

    Have you tried smoked garlic yet? Do you want to?

    Never tried it in the smoker. I will definately do this. Would be great in roasted garlic mashed potatoes. How long will it keep and how do you store it? Fridge? Freezer?

    Juicy Smoked Rib Eye Steak W/Qview

    Looks good, Ron. I have always seared my steaks first, then smoked. I got that from a reciepe somewhere. Do you think there is a difference if you smoke first and then sear, like you did?

    3 hr brisket stall?

    Does it hurt to foil early? I'd rather have it braise with some liquids than dry out. It has had pleanty of smoke.

    3 hr brisket stall?

    Nothing fancy, I just record the elapsed time and temp readings and put them into an Excel spreadsheet then plot it. Thanks, Ozark. That a 1931 Auburn sedan. I'm thinking that if this thing doesn't start to move soon, I am going to foil it anyway to keep it from drying out.

    3 hr brisket stall?

    I moved the probes a bit and now they are reading 156/157. We'll see there we get to from here - if they increase or sit. It was evident that the meat is still fairly juicy as I was poking around the probes. Only trying to get to 165 to foil

    Curing a ham at home

    Piney - I'm no expert at this, but shouldn't you inject the curing brine in a ham to prevent bone souring because of the thickness of the meat?
